Still better, than every user having to set the acpi_flags via the boot prompt, which is even more effort than one user submitting a fdi file. And having to support a mix from the kernel cmd line and quirks via hal means more work for us. So this change actually saves us efforts. Having to not use quirks at all is a completely different anyway and imho irrelevant to this special issue. > >> Supporting flags via /proc/cmdline in pm-utils benefits noone, imho, >> and we shouldn't encourage the usage of this interface. > > There's a difference between "encourage" and "break existing setups". Actually, it makes the results more sane and predictable.
